Today, I finally went running to help me start losing weight. I got 50 metres before someone in a passing car shouted out "Run fatty, run". I can't work up the courage to go for a run again. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, about 10 minutes into my first jog in months, someone in a car started following me, yelling stuff like "Oh my god, it's Shamu!" and "Run faster, fatty!" I ended up breaking down in tears before he finally sped off, roaring with laughter. FML
Today, I achieved a personal goal by completing a half-marathon for charity, despite being overweight and unfit before training. When I finished I cried, not because I was proud of myself, but because I ran the last two miles while being followed by kids on bicycles calling me a "fat cunt". FML
Today, I went outside to start jogging for improving my ever declining fitness. A kind stranger yelled, “You’re doing great!” as I was wheezing after my first block. I was sitting on a bench. FML
Today, I went running. I live in a small town and people know me fairly well. It was dark when I went to avoid the heat. I was almost finished with my run when the cop comes up and asks me what I'm running from. Clearly being fat and out of shape is not a good enough alibi. FML
Today, I decided to get back into shape and go for a run. With a 1/4 mile left to run, I saw a hot chick a block ahead of me running. Trying to show off I ran hard and passed her stopping just outside my complex. I started to throw up right as she came past me because I had run so hard to pass her. FML
Today, I told my gym trainer I’d do anything to get in shape. He challenged me to run a mile without stopping. I agreed, then got winded halfway through and dramatically collapsed on the track. A 70 year-oldish woman jogged past me and said, “You’ll live.” FML
Today, was the day I would turn my life around and start losing weight. I went outside for my first run and said, "I got this!" I confidently stepped forward, the first symbolic steps to my new life. In the anticipation, I forgot my porch had steps. I face-planted on my driveway. FML
Today, I was walking home from the gym. I was thinking about how proud of myself I was for losing 34 pounds when someone yelled from a car window, "Look at that fat lump!" FML
Today, I told my mom I wanted to try out for the track team. Her exact words were "good luck, fatty". FML
Today, while going for my daily run, a woman stopped me and said, "I think it's so great that people of your size are comfortable enough to run and show their bodies in public." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't let them get to you. Keep running and soon enough people will be shouting "Pump those skinny legs" and wolf whistling. Work it girl!

In contrast to everyone else giving a flying **** about you. I don't understand why you got so pissed off summersizzle didn't read your profile. :o I'll sum your profile for the lazy ones: "I am a pathetic dweeb".

jerks.. I give you a lot of credit for doing it!

Bullshit! You were just looking for an excuse to get back on your couch where you can watch TV and pound the chips and the donuts! Get your fat keester back on the road, crank up your iPod so loud you can't hear the insults, but make sure you have a Day-Glo Orange sign on your ass that says, "Caution: Wide Load."

I agree with perdix. "Can't" get your courage up again? I guess not since you've already decided. You knew you were overweight and this can't be the first fat joke you've ever heard. Stop making excuses and go. Incidentally, all of you suggesting treadmills, do you have any idea how much they cost? OP might not be able to afford it or even have room for it.

I agree that she is just looking for a reason to stop running. in my opinion she posted this FML just to try to get people to pity her.

Op might also be significantly overweight. Most treadmills are only rated at 150kg (330 lbs or so).
Acousticpixie14 6
You all seem to think that because OP has a negative view of herself that she must be huge. Haven't you ever met a woman who thought she was fat and disgusting and needed to lose weight, but she, in fact, was gorgeous and just the right size?

155 if she was 5 pounds overweight or 100 pounds overweight the oc is still true. Running is still a good thing to do even if your not overweight.

I never said it wasn't a good thing. People on here are just automatically assuming that she's some sort of whale or something.

Running is cool but... that's not really gonna help you if you eat junk food or something not healthy. So I just hope you are also working on a "diet" (I don't think a real diet is needed, just eat less junk food and it's all good)

Agree about changing the eating habits, buy at least running is one of the best exercises you can do to lose weight and is a hell of a lot better than doing nothing.

But some people are just naturally inclined to be fatter than others. I could eat junk all the time and stay skinny but my best guy friend tries to eat healthy and still gains weight.

don't take it personally and don't give up! we all have our obstacles and you shouldn't let them bother you, just keep going

Ouch. FYL for getting insulted about something that shouldn't matter to anyone other than yourself, when you were trying for self-improvement against something the world looks down on. This is what's wrong with society. They actively bash people for being fat, and then bash them some more when they try to lose weight. Also, I hope you can work up the spoons to keep trying, or at least have someone with you who does. I won't blame you for not running after this.

They're freaking expensive. The outdoors are free.
